Description

Morphology

The entrance forms a small chamber followed by a passage that turns to the right and rapidly narrows until it becomes impassable. In the ceiling, a small impassable passage leads to the outside.

History

Known since ancient times, it was very probably discovered at the same time as it was decapitated by the works of the old coll d'Ordal road.
